What is a Rescission Agreement?

A rescission agreement is a contractual agreement between parties that allows the contract in contention to be canceled. This agreement can often be combined with a release agreement where one or both parties are absolved of liability related to the agreement. Rescission may take place if there has been misrepresentation or a mistake has been made by one or more parties.

A rescission agreement can be unilateral when one party backs out of the agreement within their rights, or it can be a mutual decision between both or all parties involved. There are some clauses in agreements that allow borrowers specific periods of time to reconsider their contract and are allowed to rescind as long as it's done before the end of the specified period.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
